Fourth Quarter Highlights

  • Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the quarter were $35.1 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, on record revenue of $914.2 million.  Quarterly results include $8.2 million, net of tax, ($0.25 per share) in costs related to the ARI acquisition.
  • Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier were $43.3 million ($1.31 per diluted share) excluding the ARI acquisition costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $109.4 million, or 12.0% of revenue.
  • Record new railcar deliveries totaled 7,300 units for the quarter.
  • Diversified orders of 4,900 railcars were received during the quarter, valued at over $500.0 million.
  • New railcar backlog was 30,300 units with an estimated value of $3.3 billion. Backlog reflects the transfer of 10,600 units from ARI and the removal of 3,500 small cube covered hoppers for sand service for which the company realized negotiated economic benefits. Remaining backlog does not include any other orders for the sand market.
  • Marine backlog exceeds $100 million and extends through calendar 2020.
  • Board declares a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, payable on December 4, 2019 to shareholders of record as of November 13, 2019.
  • Dividend yield approximately 3.1% as of October 24, 2019.

Fiscal Year 2019 Highlights     

  • Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the year were $71.1 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, on record revenue of $3.0 billion.  Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the year were $95.2 million, or $2.87 per diluted share, excluding the non-cash goodwill impairment charge and ARI acquisition costs.

Fiscal Year 2019 Highlights (Cont.)

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $290.9 million, or 9.6% of revenue.
  • Record new railcar deliveries totaled 23,400 units for the year.
  • Orders of 20,600 units valued at approximately $2.2 billion across a broad range of railcar types with over 20% originating internationally.
  • Cash provided by operating activities exceeded $125 million for the second half of the year.

William A. Furman, Chairman & CEO said, "Greenbrier ended its fiscal 2019 with positive momentum. We enter fiscal 2020 supported by solid railcar order activity and improvements in operational areas that caused headwinds in 2019.  We are pleased that in the fourth quarter, both deliveries and earnings met expectations. A robust backlog exceeding 30,000 units, valued at over $3 billion, combined with a healthy balance sheet provides optionality for the future. Greenbrier's strategy remains focused on four elements: 1) reinforcing core North American markets, 2) executing on our international strategy while improving profitability, 3) robust development of the talent pipeline and 4) continuing to grow the business at scale." 

Furman concluded, "Recent progress and opportunities in Europe and other international markets are positive. We are optimistic about long term success in these markets. In North America, we completed the largest acquisition in Greenbrier's history in late July. We have been actively welcoming new colleagues and integrating the new manufacturing operations. We expect to generate approximately $15 million in synergies in fiscal 2020, consistent with our initial expectations. The ARI acquisition adds talent in manufacturing, engineering and other fields. With this long-contemplated transaction now complete, Greenbrier is one of the largest freight railcar builders and railcar service providers in the world."

Business Outlook

Based on current business trends and production schedules for fiscal 2020, Greenbrier believes:

  • Deliveries will be 26,000 – 28,000 units including Greenbrier-Maxion (Brazil) which will account for approximately 2,000 units
  • Revenue will be approximately $3.5 billion
  • Diluted EPS of $2.60$3.00 excluding approximately $20$25 million of pre-tax integration and acquisition-related expenses from the ARI acquisition

As noted in the "Safe Harbor" statement, there are risks to achieving this guidance.  Certain orders and backlog in this release are subject to customary documentation and completion of terms.

"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995:  This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including any statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. Greenbrier uses words, and variations of words, such as "affirms," "anticipates," "believes," "forecast," "potential," "goal," "contemplates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "hopes," "seeks," "estimates," "strategy," "could," "would," "should," "likely," "will," "may," "can," "designed to," "future," "foreseeable future" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the information under the heading "Business Outlook" and any other information regarding future performance and strategies. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic downturns (global or national); reported backlog and awards that are not indicative of Greenbrier's financial results; uncertainty or changes in the credit markets and financial services industry; high levels of indebtedness and compliance with the terms of Greenbrier's indebtedness; write-downs of goodwill, intangibles and other assets in future periods; sufficient availability of borrowing capacity; integration of past or future acquisitions, including the integration of the manufacturing business of American Railcar Industries, and establishment of joint ventures; fluctuations in demand for newly manufactured railcars or failure to obtain orders as anticipated in developing forecasts; interest rate fluctuations and volatility in global or national financial markets; loss of one or more significant customers; customer order or payment defaults or related issues; policies and priorities of the federal government regarding international trade, taxation and infrastructure; risks related to operations outside of the U.S. including economic or political instability, dishonoring of contracts,  exchange rates, diminishment of property rights; violations of anti-corruption laws; actual future costs and the availability of materials and a trained workforce; failure to design or manufacture new products or technologies or to achieve certification or market acceptance of new products or technologies; steel, energy, or specialty component price fluctuations and availability and scrap surcharges; changes in product mix and the mix between segments; labor disputes, energy shortages or operating difficulties that might disrupt manufacturing operations or the flow of cargo; production difficulties and product delivery delays as a result of, among other matters, costs or inefficiencies associated with expansion, start-up, or changing of production lines or changes in production rates, changing technologies, transfer of production between facilities or non-performance of alliance partners, subcontractors or suppliers; inability to compete successfully; ability to obtain suitable contracts for the sale of leased equipment and risks related to car hire and residual values; succession planning; discovery of defects in railcars or services resulting in increased warranty costs or litigation; inability to lease railcars at favorable rates and on favorable terms; physical damage or product or service liability claims that exceed Greenbrier's insurance coverage; train derailments or other accidents or claims that could subject Greenbrier to legal claims; actions or inactions by various regulatory agencies including potential environmental remediation obligations or changing tank car or other railcar or railroad regulation; a decline in performance or demand, oversupply, or increase in efficiency, of the rail freight industry; and issues arising from investigations of whistleblower complaints. More information on these risks and other potential factors that could cause our results to differ from our forward-looking statements is included in the Company's filings with the SEC, including in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's most recently filed periodic reports on Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Q filings. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information, which speak as of their respective dates. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of the date hereof.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier, Adjusted diluted EPS and Diluted EPS range excluding integration and acquisition-related expenses from the ARI acquisition are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These metrics are performance measurement tools used by rail supply companies and Greenbrier. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as a substitute for other financial statement data determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these metrics are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, the measures presented may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net earnings before Interest and foreign exchange, Income tax expense (benefit), Depreciation and amortization and excluding the impact associated with items we do not believe are indicative of our core business or which affect comparability. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information as it excludes the impact of financing, foreign exchange, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. These items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of a company's core business. We believe this assists in comparing our performance across reporting periods.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier and Adjusted diluted EPS excludes the impact associated with items we do not believe are indicative of our core business or which affect comparability. Diluted EPS range excluding integration and acquisition-related expenses from the ARI acquisition exclude integration and acquisition-related expenses from the ARI acquisition. We believe this assists in comparing our performance across reporting periods.

Quarterly amounts do not total to the year to date amount as each period is calculated discretely. Diluted EPS is calculated using the more dilutive of two approaches. The first approach includes the dilutive effect, using the treasury stock method, associated with shares underlying the 2.875% Convertible notes, restricted stock units that are not considered participating securities and performance based restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved. The second approach supplements the first by including the "if converted" effect of the 3.5% Convertible notes during the periods in which they were outstanding. Under the "if converted" method, debt issuance and interest costs, both net of tax, associated with the convertible notes are added back to net earnings and the share count is increased by the shares underlying the convertible notes. The 3.5% Convertible notes are included in the calculation of both approaches using the treasury stock method when the average stock price is greater than the applicable conversion price.

(2)    

The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes issued in February 2017 and the 2.25% Convertible notes issued in July 2019 were excluded for the periods in which they were outstanding as the average stock price was less than the applicable conversion price and therefore was anti-dilutive.

(3)    

Restricted stock units that are not considered participating securities and restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, are included in Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position.
